With all the complaints, and rightfully so, about the price of Slingshot parts, I thought I'd share the price of parts for another piece of equipment I own, a Takeuchi mini excavator. Pictured below is a safety relay from the ignition system. My troubleshooting yesterday determined that this part is bad and I am heading to the Big City (Portland, OR) this morning for a replacement. I'll take it 30 miles north to my tree farm in Woodland, WA (much more desirable location) to install.
So, for an all-expenses-paid trip to your refrigerator for a cold beer, guess the price of this simple relay (OK, it's a sophisticated relay, but it is just a relay). I'll be offline for the day and will announce a 'wiener' when I get home this evening.
Hint: They import these from Japan. Good luck!
